(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved an upgrade to the City Hall elevator.

A new control board, costing just over twenty-five thousand dollars, will be installed to ensure the elevator remains ADA compliant. 

City Administrator Brad Scott says several components of the elevator are now obsolete and in need of replacement. For budget reasons, Scott plans to spread the full $53,000 in upgrades over two years.  

In other business, the Commission accepted a $17,031 quote from A-1 Pump and Jet Service of Emporia to clean the Hiawatha Country Club effluent basin. The basin, last cleaned two years ago, provides irrigation water for the Club during the summer.  

Finally, the Commission approved a controlled burn on North 4th Street, to be carried out by the Fire Department.
